Jeremiah 13:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ Give glory to Adonai your God
before the darkness falls,
before your feet stumble
on the mountains in the twilight,
and, while you are seeking light,
he turns it into deathlike shadows
and makes it completely dark.
¹⁷ But if you will not hear this warning,
I will weep secretly because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly, streaming with tears,
because Adonai’s flock is carried away captive.
¹⁸ Tell the king and the queen mother,
“Come down from your thrones,
for your magnificent crowns
are falling from your heads.”
